	Last Sunday on Animal Planet they had the Eukanuba dog show and they told how to pronounce it. "Sammy-ed". I think Sam-oi-ed sounds better though. hehe

	Well, if you're really unsure of how to pronounce it in a politically correct way, you could always just call them "Sammies"! : )

	I checked out the Merriam-Webster link, and they do say it's somewhere in between...sam-a-ed, with what sounds like a hard "a" in the middle, but definately not sammy-ed. The Eukanuba dog show is the one I was watching, that's what made me wonder....it just seemed weird. I wonder where they heard it from? I still like sam-oy-ed, but I usually say Sammie.

	We all know that there are folks out there who like to place themselves a little "higher up" on the social scale than the rest of us by having their "in the know" name pronunciations, jargons, etc. Let 'em--that smiling breed will always be sam OY eds to us . It just sounds nicer! BOL! Kinda like, are you gonna say "care ih BEE un", or "car IB bee-an"? We think the first way sounds nicer, so that's how we say it. Of course, there are no Samoyed breeders here at Collie Capers, and we don't live in the Carribean, so we don't feel obligated to worry about the "proper" pronunciation of either word . Cheers!

	I've heard them pronounced both ways too. I think it just depends on where you are. I like SamOYed too. But I agree with Chyna.... Let's just call them Sammies!

	Well, since the samoyed is named after a tribe of people, I guess I would go with how their name is pronounced. Here is yet another way to pronounce it. Go to this website and click on the pronounciation link, and a voice will give you the "correct" pronounciation. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/samoyed.htm
